Cold and Cloudy, Rain Moves In

Added : Today at 6:00

Ahh, a rather active and interesting start to the working week for meteorologists at least. We start the working week with a mixture of ice/frost and some fog patches across Eastern areas this morning. Mostly bright though for parts of Eastern Ireland, Northern England and also much of Central Wales.

To the Northwest and the cloud is beginning to thicken as an active cold front approaches later on this afternoon from the Atlantic. This front is pretty active and should produce some notable snowfall across higher ground of Scotland as it heads in later on today.

To the South and East of the front it's likely to remain a largely cloudy and cold day, especially for Central areas which will see some cloud develop ahead of the front as it comes in later on this evening.

Through this evening and overnight we will see the front continue to push Southeast and clear the South coast during tomorrow morning. Behind this and colder air feeds in from the Northwest with further wintry showers across higher ground of Scotland and Northwest England.

Top temperatures today (if you can call them that?!) will be around 2-4c for much of the UK, but milder across Ireland as winds swing around to the Southwest and 5-7c is possible. Another cold night to come, but temperatures rising ahead of the front and then dropping away quickly with the additional risk of ice for much of Ireland and Northern England tomorrow morning.

Pretty classic mid winter weather across the British Isles for the next week or so as Northwesterlies take hold...

Whoah! How clever is this? The Metcheck Thunderstorm Tracker Satellite allows you to see the developing storms across Western Europe and tells you whether they are growing or decaying. Every 15 minutes we take a snapshot of the cloud cover then measure the temperature and height of the clouds and show you whether the area of clouds are developing into thunderstorms and what direction they are moving in.

You probably hear a lot about the Jet Stream in the news. It's either too far North or too far South. The jet stream is identified as winds at 300mb (during Winter) and 200mb (during Summer). It is these winds which are responsible for driving and developing weather systems across the Atlantic.
